What is a KIA?

Post-cycle accountability and peer learning.

KIA stands for Knowledge Innovation Agora — the mechanism that sustains the KLIC movement beyond each cycle. KIAs allow countries and partners to share progress, obstacles, adjustments and learning from implementation after each cycle closes.

Each KIA session is a structured online event held across the KLIC community. Country teams share their operational realities and current situation — including how they conduct innovation at their level, what constraints they face, and what adaptations they are making. Partners engage directly with challenges from the field. KIAs connect peer learning, accountability, and continuous adaptation — keeping frontline and community realities visible at the centre of every conversation. Sessions are held in English and French and are recorded for open access.

Live Online Sessions

Each KIA is held as a live Zoom event, open to the full KLIC community and invited guests.

Bilingual — EN & FR

Sessions are delivered bilingually. Presentations and resources are available in both English and French.

Open Presentations

All session presentations are published openly for download. Recordings are available where consent was given.
